Stephen Brotherston talks the raps

It's a lot of "STEVE WHO IS THE NEW COACH GONNA BE??!?!?" but there's a few interesting tidbits in there, specifically (the raps supposed thoughts) on Alabi and Bargs. He also apparently gets the feeling Lawrence Frank is the front-runner, which i agree with.

re: the whole Flynn thing, i think he's right that if the trade happens, its just going to be a straight up jose for flynn type move.

Also interesting he said the twolves are asking for a veteran big man for the #2 pick. Considering how high on D. Williams BC seems to be, i wonder if he floats a bargs+jose =flynn+#2 trade? No idea if that works on paper but i'd roll with it.

Jose and Bargs is a lotta salary. I doubt that would work straight up.

Add the #2 pick on Minny's side. Best I could come up with by involving only the Raptors and T'Wolves. I still think Minny would want a little something more if they don't acquire our 5th pick. If the 5th pick is in there, I'd say it's a done deal.

Minny: + Get's rid of Flynn/Ridnour, room for Jose/Rubio
+ J. Johnson helps them on the wings where they are weak
+ Some throw-ins (Alabi + TPE)
+ Bargnani can provide much needed offense for Minny up-front
- They take on a lot of salary (Bargnani/Calderon)
- Bargnani may not be the "veteran big" they are looking for (in regards to #2 pick)
- Older, no draft pick
